HELLO 2023 It’s been an eventful year. We celebrated the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee , saw the UK come second in the Eurovision Song Contest , and watched the Lionesses bring it home. We’ve had three Prime Ministers , and seen the world’s population hit eight billion . And we’ve mourned the war in Ukraine , and said goodbye to Queen Elizabeth II . As we look towards 2023 it’s time to make exciting plans for the year ahead. Holidays are firmly back on the menu – and we have all sorts of destinations to show you, with options for every budget . So grab a cuppa (or a glass of fizz, ‘tis the season!) and flick through the latest edition of Escape.
